Old and Antique Kelim Rugs

Why an old Kelim rug?

The colours and the original handwork of old Kelims are singular and beautiful in a way that can never be recreated. Their small imperfections are simply bursting with charm.

 Every Kelim rug is a one-of-a-kind piece, hand-woven from natural materials such as sheep's wool, goat hair or jute. That makes it not only extremely hard-wearing but also wonderfully easy to look after. The traditional weaving technique means you can use the rug on both sides – practical and stylish at the same time! Because it is woven, it is also thinner than ordinary rugs. That makes it particularly easy to care for and easy to move aside whenever you want to mop the floor. On top of that, every door clears it, there is no edge to trip over, and its light weight makes it easy to handle when vacuuming – ideal in later years, too. 

A touch of the Orient for your home

With its bold colours and striking patterns, the Kelim rug is the perfect companion for a relaxed ethnic look. Picture this: a cream-coloured Kelim in the living room or a colourful runner in the hallway. Sounds good? We think so too! The Kelim rug brings warmth and a sense of comfort to any room. Weaving is quicker than knotting and uses less material, which is why Kelims are usually far more affordable – a good rug to start with.

Craftsmanship at its finest

The Kelim rug is a genuine work of art with a history. Originally made by nomadic peoples in Iran, Afghanistan and Morocco, this flat-woven masterpiece brings a rare blend of tradition and modernity into your home. Whether in the living room, the hallway or the bedroom – a Kelim rug always makes a statement.

The colours and the distinctive character of old Kelim rugs cannot be recreated. You feel the difference from newly made rugs straight away, even if you are not a rug expert yet!

Modern vibes

Although the Kelim rug is deeply rooted in tradition, it fits perfectly into modern interiors. The sheer range of colours and patterns makes it a true all-rounder. Whether in grey and beige for a minimalist look or in bold turquoise and orange as an eye-catcher – with a Kelim rug you are always on safe ground.

The right care

Old Kelim rugs can be treated just like new ones. A Kelim rug is naturally resistant to dirt and easy to care for. Simply vacuum it regularly and beat it out now and then. For everyday stains, household remedies such as sparkling mineral water or our special stain soap will do the job. For stubborn stains, our professional cleaning is the best choice. Our Kelim rugs are especially flat, so a non-slip underlay is important – we stock these as well and can send one along with your rug.
